First of all let me state that I'm 18, so it doesn't apply to me.
If they leave it how it is right now, kids that put their correct age are protected. They have personal information blocked, and people can only view their profiles if they are added as a friend.
If they raise the age limit, the kids that are too young are going to sign up as an adult and get the adult features. Don't say otherwise because that is exactly what will happen: when the kids try to sign up with their real birthdate and it says taht they are too young they are going to hit the back button on their browsers and change their birthday. When they do, they will get no protection unless they select it - No blocked personal information unless selected, profile viewing to anyone and no content blocking.
So why are there parents trying to get them to raise the age limit? Do they honestly think that their children and others' are completely innocent?

The first couple answerers obviously didn't read the entire question and therefore missed my logic. Read the whole thing instead of calling me a dumbass, dumbass.

What you missed was that even if they raise the age limit kids are going to get on there anyway. I really don't understand why a group of people feel that they need to do eveyone elses parenting by raising the age limit for everyone when they could just do their own jobs as parents and just keep their kids off of it.
And like I said, kids are still going to get on Myspace if they want to. Don't be naive. They can put whatever age they want on it and the only people who would know that it was false would be their friends.
What I was saying was that kids will still get on, but if they raise the age limit the protection that Myspace currently offers will be eliminated because there aren't supposed to be kids that need it on the site.

Youre right. Most parents do not really know what myspace is. It is very dangerous...so parents assume that if they change the age everything will be okay, because they do not realize how easy it is for a child to change their age on the computer. A lot of parents are computer illiterate. The girl above me who says parents should watch what their kids are doing...cmon. Yeah its a nice saying...thats about it. My parents thought they were watching everything I put online when I was a kid, as soon as they turn around you just minimize whatever. Parents are trying to control basically the uncontrolable, pretty much out of ignorance...Hopeing kids will do what they are told and be honest about their age. I think that is the opposite of what I did as a kid. That was the only thing that saved me. I lied about everything to everyone. I was never the same age, lived in the same town, went to the same school, or anything else I said online. I think that is what I would educate my children to to as well.

I think the whole discussion is crazy! If parents would just supervise their children like God intended then it would be ok! Do not put the internet in the bed rooms make the kids surf the net in the family room under supervision and limit internet usage to school work and short pleasure trips. I dont know about other people, but I dont need the government to raise my child!!! PARENTS WATCH YOUR KIDS! Picture the internet as a busy highway.........keep your kid out of it! Do your job!

needed no, yet anime those days you have the female's chest that's ginormous and because on anime adult adult males won't be able to have boners, they have nostril bleeds. however the solid concern is the pictures have been progressing. So what i'm attempting to assert, is that for some anime it would be 13 and up or sixteen and up reckoning on what they show on it. often times, that is for any age.
